This is a summary of the responses I have recieved so far for converting
TeX documents to text.

The best pointers were to 'dvidoc' which worked for me. I couldn't find it
in any of the archives, so I took the one that r-wargaski@nwu.edu mailed
me and put it out for anonymous FTP on nicol.jvnc.net:pub/dvidoc.tar.Z

I was hoping to find the 'originating' site for this code so that I
could find any latest updates, etc. so please let me know if anyone
knows the whereabouts of the latest version.

Someone also mentioned the GNU latexinfo/texinfo which comes with the
emacs distribution but 'texinfo' seems to be another language of its
own and I couldn't find 'latexinfo' anywhere. Maybe someone else could
elaborate better.
